Ok, so Buddy is losing hair around his left eye. We have no idea what is causing this.. there has been to change to his diet, we haven't added anything nor taken anything out, the only thing I can think of is allergies (like how we have allergies) but I'm not sure... any ideas anyone?

This is what it looks like:

My previous sheltie had allergies and she would lose the hair around her eyes too as well as her feet would become raw and red. We started her on a lamb and rice diet excluding corn or wheat and all glutens from these two grains. Also started her on a regimin of 1 Acidophilus capsule per day. She has had no more symptoms.

Hmmmm, but this is recent.. like 3 weeks maybe? He's been on a lamb/rice food since after his parvo bout...

should we get testing done?

there I go worrying again...

After some research, we think it may be some type of mange... so I'll be calling the vet tomorrow... :(
